L. W. main issue; but
around it have grown up a body of minor
issues, which took form in charges against
Professor Smith, Brown professor of e%cclesi-
astical history, that he has taught doctrines
tending to weaken mems absolute faith in the
Scriptures as the only infallible rule of faith
and practice. The controversy interests the
laity quite as much as the clergy. The board
of visitors of the Andover Theological Insti-
tuition held a meeting June 4, 1887, and voted
that the charges were not sustained against
Professors William ]. Tucker, John W.
Churchill, George Harris and Edward j.

found:

and have ever since resided in a suburb of
London. She has one daughter and two sons
neither with any musical talent whatever.
Her voice retains but little of its old time
sweetness, and her dress is so very plain and
old fashioned that strangers often smile at the
odd appearance of the 'little old woman"
they see in the adjacent streets or park, with
out a suspicion that she is the once noted
Jenny Lind. But she is quite popular in so
ciety, and is a special favorite with the queen
and royal family. She is extremely charit-
able, and devotes much time and money to
the education and industrial training of poor
girls.
And now the telegraph brings the sad news
that she is stricken with paralysis, and the
physician apprehends that the beautiful, use
full life is probably near its close. 1t is added
in a postscript that as she is but 67 years old,
there is'hope of recovery; but in any event
activity and song are at an end for the once
devotedly loved, madly idolized Jenny Lind.

Cologne-on-the-Rhine, Germany. 1t is a
little "Krao' girl from Laos, in Siam.
Her skin, even that of the face, is covered
with hair half an inch to an inch in
length, except IN the soles of the feet, the
elbows, and insides of the hands. She
has backentaschen and thirteen dorsal

other respect it is like a human being
with a ommon amount Of intelligence
and feeling. The Kraos are a Siamese

"Frigate" mackerel is the name of a fish
that is being taken now and packed as straight
goods on our coast. These fish closely re-
semble regular mackerel, but they are known
by expert fishermen as a cross between a
mackerel and a porgy. Their bellies are
fat, and, like the porgy, the fat is distributed
through the meat. Fisherman say it is
seventy-two years since they were on the
coast before. They are being taken off Cape
Cod and Block Island, run uniform in size
and are classed "fat small No. g." In the Bos.
ton market they sell at Sl3. The fish would
pass with most buyers without question:

The sudden marriage of John NJ. Ward,

and Helen Dauyray, the f~avorite actress, was
a matter of surprise to every one. Helen
Dauvray has always taken an interest in
baseball, and offered n prize of a $500 cup to
the winning team. Her real name before the
present marriage was Gibson, and she made
her first bow in ''UnCle Toms Cabin as Eva
when but 5 years old. She will be remembered
by many as Little Nell, the California Dia-
mond. She went abroad and passed seven
years in Paris, and made her debut there on
the stage of the Folies Dramatiques. She
came back to America in 1888, and in
two seasons she produced Zone of Our Girls, {"

monarch or a great Politician-they were
awaiting the arrival of n conqueror, indeed;
one who had won the hearts of Europe. They
were awaiting n plain and simple Swedish girl
but that girl was Jenny Lind. Public curiosity
ha | been stimulated to an unwonted degree,
anil the man of many resources, 7. t. Bar
num, had advertised with an ingenuity rare
even for him. Jenny Lind's sad childhood
(whcn She was left alone all day in a tene-
mont house and sang to her cat for company,
her romantic girlhood as an eleve in the royal
opera Mt Stockholm, her triumphal tour of
the capitals Of Europe and the popular wa
ton on her return to Stockholm, had all been
toll in fascinating detail in the American
papers, and so 5000 people greeted her at
the wharf with long continued cheers.
A week after 5000 persons gathered in
Castle Garden to the sale of preferred tickets
each successive purchaser to have choice Of
seat and rs many more as he would take at
the same price. Mr.. Barnum had advertised
the sale also in his most ingenious manner
The auctioneer had but announced the terms
and called for n bid when a voice rang out
clear and loud, twenty-five dollars!' "Fifty
dollnrsl" was the instant response in a louder
voice.
The first bidder was the cashier of the
noted DR.. Brandreth; the second John N.
Genin, a popular halter. Then, so rapidly
that the auctioneer could not utter a word,
the rivals ran the price up to 1925, at which
sum Mr.. Genin was declared the purchaser.
1t made his fortune. "Genin the halter"
was soon n household phrase in every part of
the United States, a phrase for humor, song
and sarcasm. Colored ministries made their
wittiest jokes on it; paragraphists parodied
it; a witty contributor to The Saturday
Evening Post wrote in the antique or Bible
style a Chapter from Jenny-Sis," burles-
quing Genin, which had an immense run.
But all the time his hats sold by the hundred
thousand. Many other tickets were sold at
high prices, but none to compare with Genin's.
The audience on the first night, Sept. 10, fell
but little below 1000 and the total receipts
were $4,000. There was in fact a Jenny Lind
Madness sort of epidemic from which pes
simistic moralists drew sad conclusions. Five
more concerts at Castle Garden followed, the
building being packed nightly; but the re-
ceipts were much less, as more popular prices
w,re established.

n the LIST day of
September, 1850,

waiting eagerly for

had gathered there
since the arrival of

Americans were
not there to greet q
, 1887-11-01

The usual experience is that such DER
wrought expectations are disappointed and
the popular idol falls too low, as he or she
had been raised too high. But in Jenny
Lind's case the cool and cautious critics con-
firmed the enthusiasm of the people. The
New York papers exhausted the terms Of
musical art in describing her voice. In its
next issue The New York Tribune said:
I'VE never heard tones which in their
sweetness went so far. They brought the
most distant and i'll seated auditor close to
her. They were tones, every one of them,
and the whole air had to take the law of their
vibrations. Song in her has that integral
beauty which at once proclaims it as a type
for all, and is most naturally worShiped as
such by the multitude"
The test piece of the evening was Jenny
Lind in Casta Diva; but the great public
put its most enthusiastic approval On her
single songs, and most OF all upon her famed
MARBLE. To their descendants of today it
seems incredible that her rendition of this
should have produced such n furore; but the
few now living who heard still warm at the
recollection. At the close of the evenings
performance Mr.. Barnum announced that
Jenny Lind's third of the gross receipts
amounted to 10000, and as an expression of
her feelings at the grand welcome by the
new world she donated the entire amount to
| LDe CldTlIltS Ol llt NlLl@COsOOu W Iub "
department fund, 50, 900 to the Musical Fund
society, $500 each to ten asylums. The
cheering that followed may be imagined.
The singer was escorted to her hotel by an
immense crowd, and all her stay in New
York was n continued ovation. Then fol-
lowed her great tour OF the country, and
nfter that her marriage to Otto Goldschmidt.
In her ninety-three regular concerts in this
country the receipts had BEEN 100000 and
at the Boston sale of first seats Ossian F.
Dodge, himself a singer of some note, outdid
Genin by paying 1928 for the first choice Of
seats.
Jenny Lind was born in Stockholm, capital
of Sweden, in 1920, and was early left an
orphan. The working woman who cared for
her often had to leave her in their room alone
all day while the former went to her tasks.

to by men of all other states. When red-handed rioters, filled with beer and bologna, attempted to tear down the fair fabric of our constitution, as we'll as the high board fence at the Milwaukee rolling mill, what did this man do? c'Took his sample case and went to Iowa." said some one back in the crowd, and Stickles stamped his foot, while the "gover- nor" smiled out loud.) He called out the bloody militia and wiped from the face of the earth the last vestige of arnica, and saved our loved state from being terrible waste. Gen. tlemen, allow me to introduce to you the governor. He is all wool. and yard wide"
 The crowd eheered, and Stickles clapped his hands until they were sore. The governor felt that the thing had gone far enough, but the band struck up Hail to the Chief" and he couldn't speak for several minutes. When the band had got the chief hailed enough, and was out of wind, Hagen said this thing was all right enough, just fora flyer, but he had no desire to sail under false colors. He was no governor, and never expected to be, and it seemed to him to be cruel to thus deceive this poor land lord who probably never did any harm. He said he was still drumming for the same old house. and carried his grip sack as of yore. AS the years passed, and he became older, he found the old grip sack heavier to carry, but he got there all the same. Though his home had been away from Wau- pun for some years, he had tender feeling for the Prison city and her good people, and was always glad to visit here. He hoped they wouldn't lay it up against him for masquerad- ing in this manner for few minutes, just for joke on the new landlord, and he knew Governor Rusk, who was his neighbor at Madison, would laugh over it. "Now let's shake, and he began to shake hands with the people present whom he had known for years.
 For a few minutes the landlord was missing, and Hobkirk feared he had gone after shot gun to kill the per- petrators of the joke. But Stickles was not that kind of a landlord. He ordered the bar to be opened, free, and admitting that the joke was on him, he invited everybody to help them- selves to all they wanted to cat, drink and smoke, the band was induced to play dance music, and the sell on Stickles wound up with a dance. Hazen went away the next day, and before night every travelling man on the road was talking about the gov ernor joke, Stickles was advertised all over the country as landlord that could take joke, and Waupun will laugh for a month. Hobkirk thinks Stickles will get even with him some day, but he is willing to take the chances Pecks Sun.
